What did you have to bring to the table in order to secure 1st place at the 2025 CROYA Chefs’ Competition? The answer is talent, technique, creativity and a lot of passion. Take a look at the dishes prepared by Luka Vulic. This is how he did it;)

We are delighted to announce the dates for the 3rd CROYA Yacht Charter Show!
The 4-day event will be held from Monday, 28 September, to Thursday, 01 October, 2026. Conveniently timed just after the Monaco Yacht Show and extended in duration by one day, in order to provide attendees with more time to discover what promises to be an even larger fleet.

We have something beautiful to announce:)
And it concerns all attending brokers and central agents.

We will be proceeding with a lucky draw, at the welcome party to be held at Fabrique Pub, and 2 lucky attendees will win...
a hand painted, silk scarf that is absolutely unique. Entry into the draw is automatic upon registration to the show.

Who is behind the gift? Blaženka Benkus.

Today, she gathers around her a team of academic painters and renowned jewelers who, in sunny Split, create small wearable works of art every day using ancient techniques of silk painting and gemstone jewelry making.Her sales and exhibition space is located in the remains of the Church of St. Michael by the sea (in ripa maris), in a semicircular Gothic apse carved into the western wall of Diocletian’s Palace.

Blaženka succeeds to offer the world an aesthetically, technically and functionally flawless product as an all-time stamp of elegance and style. By making a purchase from the small Benkus workshop, you support a great dream and take with you her story of art, perseverance, beauty, consistency, and endless love...

Thank you Blaženka for supporting the 2nd CROYA Charter Show with such a lovely gesture:)

Yes, we are still counting yachts:)
We are up to #44 which is none other than MASTERMIND.

MASTERMIND is a multihull beauty measuring 20m and it represents a breathtaking example of what the Lagoon shipyard is able to build today. Setting herself just a little below the Lagoon Seventy 8 flagship, the Sixty 7 also comes with the winning formula of Nauta Design responsible for interiors, Patrick Le Quément for the exteriors, and VPLP naval architecture. The result? A statement of elegance and luxury blended in a package that pushes the boundaries of today's scope to combine the world of motor yachting with all the advantages of the sailing catamaran world.

Her interiors offer spectacular views and tempting surroundings thanks to the generous use of glazing, large hatches, and skylights. Light and bright, welcoming yet modern, spacious but ergonomic...these are the key attributes. Stable and fuel-efficient, independent, and powerful are watchwords that complete this power yachting experience in Croatia.

Accommodation on MASTERMIND is for up to 8 guests in 4 ensuite well-appointed double cabins. And water toys including 2 stand-up paddle-boards, a SeaBob and water-skis will certainly keep guests entertained out on the Adriatic Sea.

Who do we spy this time with our little eye? It’s Chef Igor Karađole who will be representing DAWO at the 2025 CROYA Chefs’ Competition:)

Igor is no stranger to such high-level competitions as he was a winner earlier this year at the MYBA Superyacht Chefs’ Competition. He is talented, enthusiastic and very welcoming.

We look forward to seeing you and your creations on Monday, Igor!

Attending yacht #43 and we are almost there. But not quite.
Time to meet PRINCESS S, a Lagoon 55, that combines strength, comfort, and quality.

What sets her apart from previous models is the highly innovative and completely redesigned aft area and optimal circulation on board. The vast terrace on the sea is beautifully designed. The fully open cockpit offers uninterrupted views, allowing you to enjoy the stunning surroundings and sites in Croatia. With an overall length of 18.38 m, she can accommodate up to 8 guests in 4 double cabins. Her interior boast an open-plan salon with panoramic windows and high-end finishes.

She also offers a nice selection of toys including a Highfield 3.8m tender, 2 JOBE stand-up paddle-boards, snorkelling gear, 2 JOBE Infinity Sea Scooters, a knee board, water tube and fishing gear.

With 250 brokers registered and a fleet of 47 beautiful attending yachts, we have every reason to celebrate:) 🥂
